Because according to the display on the tactical tablet, the little wife under his butt can now cruise at supersonic speeds! That's right, it's no longer the previous supersonic flight with afterburner on, but a true supersonic cruise!
It can sustain supersonic cruise at Mach 1.7! And its fuel consumption is much lower than before. Its combat radius can already reach the figure of 1,000 kilometers without carrying an auxiliary fuel tank and being fully loaded!
This performance improvement is more than just a tiny bit! Coupled with its powerful maneuverability, Qinglong's performance is now as Dong Kejiang said, it can really be said to be the most powerful third-generation fighter in the world.
"Awesome!" Jiang Yan Hai couldn't help but say.
Jiang Yan Hai is a little excited. He has not flown since the last time he went to the sky. It must be said that ultra-high-speed flight can make people secrete adrenaline sharply. This kind of speed is very exciting, which is much more exciting than racing.
This is especially true when performing various maneuvers.
And there is something different about flying Jiang Yan Hai this time, that is, he got Aerial Driving Skill. Although this skill level is not high, it is higher than before.
He could feel that at this moment, he had an inexplicable sense of compatibility with the entire fighter jet. To put it more fantasy-wise, it was the so-called integration of man and machine!
Jiang Yan Hai even seemed to feel that he could feel what problems there were in certain parts of his fighter jet. This feeling was very mysterious. In this unique state, Jiang Yan Hai felt as if he could fly in the air by himself.
A little excited, Jiang Yan Hai directly pushed the left-hand throttle to the limit.
The speed of the Qinglong fighter jet, which had already entered supersonic speed, immediately increased rapidly!
Soon its speed exceeded Mach 2, Mach 2.5, and finally its speed continued to approach Mach 2.8.
At this moment, at a large radar station on the border, a radar soldier couldn't help but report loudly, "Report! There is a friendly target on our radar and it is advancing at high speed!"
"What's wrong?" The officer on duty next to him came over immediately and asked.
"It's so fast."
"Too fast? How fast?" The officer on duty was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.
"The current speed is Mach 2.8, and it is still increasing, although the rate of increase is already very slow." The radar soldier said quickly.
"How much?!" The officer on duty was stunned for a moment, Mach 2.8?! You must know that the speed of Mach 2.5 is also commonly known as the thermal barrier, because when a fighter jet reaches Mach 2.5 in the air, the surface temperature of the aircraft will reach nearly 350 degrees Celsius!
Below Mach 2.5, fighter jets can still use ordinary materials and can be designed using conventional methods and materials. However, for materials higher than this, high-temperature-resistant materials must be used, and heat insulation devices and cooling systems must be installed to ensure that the aircraft does not suffer from problems such as reduced material rigidity and fatal tremors due to high temperatures.
This is why the maximum speed of most fighter jets is Mach 2.5, but now there are actually fighter jets flying to Mach 2.8!
Since when has there been such an awesome fighter jet in China? You know, even the J20 seems to have a maximum speed of Mach 2.5, right? The officer on duty was in a daze.
"It's codename is Haidongqing." The radar soldier handed over the message from the friendly forces next to him.
The officer on duty immediately took the information and checked it. When he saw that it was a J10, his eyes widened. When did the J10 become so awesome?
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the intercom and pressed the call button directly, "Haitongqing, Haidongqing, Qingshan call."
"Haidongqing received it, Qingshan please speak." Jiang Yan Hai was a little surprised and glanced at his communication channel. This call came from a radar station. Generally speaking, radar stations rarely call for fighter jets.
Their data is often synchronized with the station, and the station has all their data, unless there is an emergency on their side or a direct connection is necessary.
"Hai Dongqing, are you in normal condition? We detected an abnormality in your speed." The officer on duty asked immediately.
"I'm in normal condition, thank you Qingshan." Jiang Yan Hai immediately understood that it was his speed that attracted the other party's attention.
"Understood, please be safe. Communication terminated."
"Thank you."
After Jiang Yan Hai responded to the other party, he hung up the intercom, but he hesitated and began to slow down his speed, just to feel the maximum speed.
Qinglong's engine has been optimized, but currently, it still cannot reach Mach 3, and the maximum speed is only around Mach 2.8.
It's hard to tell exactly how much actual combat value there is for an extra 0.3 Mach, but this is a proof of technological progress! Many things are in the process of accumulation, and now it is! Of course, this is also related to the drawings that Jiang Yan Hai got back.
This provided a large amount of advanced information for the country.
Reducing its speed to below Mach 2 and maintaining supersonic cruise, Jiang Yan Hai quickly flew to its cruising route and began its own combat readiness cruise.
He had directly connected Er Dan to the electronic system of the fighter jet. After Er Dan connected it, Jiang Yan Hai asked Er Dan to feel it carefully. The avionics system had hardly been updated, but his helmet had been more deeply integrated with the avionics system.
His helmet currently also has night vision capabilities, as well as visual aiming, etc., which is an upgrade compared to the original J10 helmet.
It is probably in conjunction with the Qinglong fighter jet.
I just don't know what to do with so many other models of J10 in China? Sell it? Then most of them replace J10S Azure Dragon?
During the combat readiness cruise, most of the time was boring, and Jiang Yan Hai began to think wildly. Anyway, Er Dan was now connected to the electronic system. If there was any abnormality, he would receive it as soon as possible.
"Warning." When Jiang Yan Hai was thinking wildly, Er Dan's voice rang directly in his mind.
Jiang Yan Hai immediately retracted his thoughts and became excited. I went. I was just about to say that there was nothing wrong, but then something happened.
"Haitongqing calls Control Tower." Jiang Yan Hai directly picked up his intercom.
"Control Tower received it, Haidongqing please speak."
"Control Tower understands, Haidongqing, you have the right to make your own decision, and of course you cannot take the initiative to fire." Control Tower responded directly.
"Understood! Don't worry, I'm just having a friendly exchange with the other party." Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.
"Understood, our two J11s, codenamed Bees, have already gone to the area and will fly with each other. Please pay attention." Control Tower said.
"Understood!" Jiang Yan Hai responded while pulling the joystick. His fighter jet instantly cut a large angle in the air and pounced directly towards the destination.
